Why you should get a Building survey

A survey is a travelling document which identifies a condition of the building at the time of inspection. It can be used when you sell the property to prove that any defects that were discovered at the time of the survey have either been repaired or have not changed the indication of this useful to future property purchases.

Leeds was one of the leading centres of industry in Victorian England. The transformation of the city in previous decades has seen change in manufacturing sectors and also to become the largest centre for financial and legal services in the UK outside of London.

Moving to modern times

The planned route of the HS2 into the city centre will bring huge growth to the city, not only in business terms, but also providing over 35,000 jobs, over 8,000 new homes and educational facilities for over 10,000 students.

Leeds is a significant employer where large technological companies such as Sky, Sky Bet, Trans Union and also the headquarters of the NHS is based in the city. Recently Channel 4 have relocated their headquarters to Leeds, bring a further spotlight on the city for business and culture.

The housing Stock nowadays is very mixed including many new homes. Because construction standards have fallen most smart house buyers of new homes choose to have a survey on new homes.
